Ahead of 'CES 2027,' the world's largest electronics and information technology (IT) exhibition to be held in Las Vegas, U.S., next January, Samsung Electronics has been awarded a total of 19 Innovation Awards, including four Best of Innovation Awards.
According to Samsung Electronics on the 15th, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) announced the products and technologies that received CES 2027 Innovation Awards on the 9th (local time). Samsung Electronics received a total of 19 Innovation Awards, including 13 in the Video Display category, one in Home Appliances, two in Mobile, and three in Semiconductors. Among these, it won two Best of Innovation Awards each in the Video Display and Mobile categories.
In the Mobile category, the 'Galaxy Z Fold8' and the 'Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra' both received Best of Innovation Awards. The Galaxy Z Fold8 features a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch main display, making it an optimal product for content consumption such as watching short-form videos and gaming.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the first Samsung Electronics foldable smartphone to carry the 'Ultra' designation. It features an 8-inch main display and a high-capacity 5000mAh battery, enhancing convenience for multitasking and content creation.
In the Video Display category, a total of 13 Innovation Awards were received by new products and services, including 2027-model TVs, soundbars, and monitors, along with two Best of Innovation Awards.
In the Home Appliances category, the all-in-one washer-dryer 'Bespoke AI (Artificial Intelligence) Combo' received an Innovation Award. It features a large-capacity heat exchanger to achieve performance comparable to a standalone dryer, and supports functions such as 'AI Custom+' that detects the weight, type, and level of soil on fabrics to suggest the optimal washing course.
In the Semiconductors category, the memory modules for artificial intelligence (AI) servers, 'LPDDR5X SOCAMM2' and 'DDR5 RDIMM,' as well as the next-generation memory for on-device AI, 'UFS 5.0,' received Innovation Awards.
The LPDDR5X SOCAMM2 is a product that reduces memory bottlenecks in AI servers and increases graphics processing unit (GPU) utilization based on its high bandwidth and low-power characteristics. The DDR5 RDIMM utilizes 32Gb DRAM to reduce the existing 8-layer stacking structure to 4 layers, improving space and power efficiency. The UFS 5.0 is a next-generation built-in memory with high data processing speed and power efficiency, optimized for implementing on-device AI.
Samsung Electronics' Innovation Award-winning products can be viewed at the Samsung Electronics exhibition hall at CES 2027, which will be held from January 6 to 9 next year.
